installing kopete on mandrake 9.2

Hello, I'm a newbie at linux and I am having a problem installing this
on mandrake 9.2. After I type './configure' I get this message....

checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed.
This will fail. So, check this please and use another prefix!
[root@localhost kopete-0.8.0]#

What do I need to do to correct this? Thanks for any advice.

First do this in a terminal:
'which konqueror'
the output should look like this:
/opt/kde/bin/konqueror or /usr/bin/konqueror or /usr/local/bin/konqueror or something along those lines.
Whatever it is, the output sans the bin/konqueror portion is your prefix, so if /usr/local/bin/konqueror is the output, then your prefix is /usr/local. From there,
./configure --prefix=/usr/local(or whatever your output gave you)
make
su
make install
Simplicity is the staple of the working man.
